Heroic Scientologist Tom Cruise is back to save cinema. Again. The generally well received seventh installment in the eccentrically punctuated Mission: Impossible series enjoyed a £10m haul (including four days of previews), which is a record for the ‘running about and blowing shit up’ franchise. Everything else just shuffled down a place, causing The Flash to fall out of the top ten. Pixar’s Elemental is holding up well, but Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny‘s £16m total is well behind that of the much-derided Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which notched up £40m after an equivalent three weekends on release. Horror enthusiasts continued to flock to Insidious: The Red Door, which has already eclipsed Insidious 2 to become the biggest hit of the franchise.
